Linkedin is an online resume profile that allows people to connect together in order to find jobs or find employees. It also allows businesses to market their products and services to people interested in their industry, which also helps individuals discover these companies. Not only does linkedin allow people and businesses to connect to each other, it also looks for people that have similar attributes/needs and allows them to find each other. In its basic form, users can access the website for free, but LinkedIn also gives users the option to pay for a premium account, which costs $19.95 a month and gives users a few more features that are not found in the free account. One of these additional features is extra “InMail” messages per month, which allows users to send multiple messages directly to other users, regardless of whether or not the users are connected.
LinkedIn is also provides users with some social networking, but in a more professional manner than other social networking providers. Users are allowed to make “status updates” similar to those of Facebook and Twitter, and these statuses go to the feeds of the people that are connected to the account. The website also provides group pages, where different accounts join together to discuss certain topics that have to do with whatever industry they are involved with. Although this website is not known for its social features, they do exist, as people are allowed to conversate, even though it is usually in some sort of professional manner.
LinkedIn does not provide users with much entertainment. People can connect to accounts regarding the entertainment industry, but there is no real service on the website that provides users with a direct source of entertainment. Accounts do exist for some celebrities and entertainment companies, but there are much better websites for entertainment. LinkedIn is supposed to be used as a professional website for building online resumes and connecting people and businesses, so it is not surprising that it is a weak source of entertainment.
LinkedIn is a great source of news for businesses and people seeking connections to jobs. Every account has a news feed, which allows users to see what is happening with all of the accounts that they are connected to, and users can input their own news to the feeds of the accounts connected to them. This keeps people up to date with their colleagues and gives them information about what is going on in specific industries with and specific companies.
LinkedIn is not supposed to be used recreationally, as it is a website for professional use, not one to have fun with. There are some features, such as the status updates and news feed and conversations with other users, which allow users substantial freedom to enjoy their use of the website, but the website is used mostly to help people find jobs and connections.
Throughout its history, LinkedIn has connected hundreds of millions of accounts, and done its job as as a professional networking webite.
